I had a similar problem, what I did to fix the mess was to cd
/usr/X11R6/bin && grep libintl.so.1 *  the reinstall anything that
matched, repeat for /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/lib and /usr/local/lib, once
again probably not the correct way but it saved me adding symlinks which
*may* break things in the future.
